to think that Little Chef...

[SparkyMcSparrowLaidMiniEggs]

...is not a great place for a planned Easter lunch out?

Tis what my MIL suggested

That sounds fun.

Do you still get a lolly if you have a clear plate?!

Is it the Heston B one?

I can think of better places. But not many that are worse.

Pandemoniaa My thinking exactly!

Our local one has closed down. It's a shame, we liked to play 'match the food to the picture'.

What are the alternatives? Spudulike? Motorway Services?

Mmmmm, last time I was at little chef I was charged about 20 quid for eggs with a thick grey skin on the bottom and bacon with bits of bone in. Delicious.

The 'Olympic Breakfast' yum.

The "Little Chef" was always the worst place to go to on a motorway stop off when I was a kid. I haven't heard anything to the contrary since lever it right into room 101

Its' shite

Is your MIL Waynetta Slob?

I love a good dirty meal, but not as a planned family lunch surely?

Off topic here. . Ratatouille - I had mice a longwhile back and due to that frigging film, DS had to name him and take him over to the park to let him go!

I used to love the little chef lollies when I was a kid! And the Jubliee Pancakes, do they still make those?

Here. You can peruse the 'delights' before you go.

Fuck me its expensive

It is isn't it? Waynetta Slob couldn't afford it.

A bowl of porridge is £3.99

Oj and Toast £2.39 (1 slice that is)

Check out the wine list.

On our way to Cornwall a couple of years ago we made the mistake of staying overnight at a Travel Lodge somewhere in Somerset. After escaping the grim, mouldy bedroom we wandered into the adjacent Little Chef (the only breakfast option) and even DP - a man noted for his unfussiness with food - baulked at their excuse for food. The prices were eyewatering too.

No Blue Nun or Black Tower?

Does your mil hate you?

That may well be one near me Pandemoniaa :( I be in Somerset

I remember eating breakfast at one near Durham once. We ordered coffee, it came, we poured the milk in, the milk was off. Very off.

Lumps of cheese floating around the cup and it stank

It wasn't fresh in a jug. The milk was from a uht carton. How old must they have been to be off?

Even though the local Little Chef has closed down, the Travelodge next to it is still open, so don't know what the breakfast options are now. Cheaper though presumably.
